Skin? Moisturized. Teeth? Tusk-like. Today’s mood? Mastodonsaurus giganteus. This animal lived during the Late Triassic about 215 million years ago. It’s an extinct relative of frogs and salamanders, but it probably behaved more like a crocodile: Its large, flat skull and tusk-like teeth (some of which protruded through the skull) seem to be adapted for seizing large prey. You can see this life-sized model in the Museum’s Hall of Vertebrate Origins! Plan your visit.

Everyone in my family is saying this replica of a dying Coelophysis looks like my dog 😤

The dazzling colors seen in gem tourmalines depend on the metals present in each gemstone’s crystal structure. Pink tourmalines contain more manganese, while green crystals include iron, chromium, or vanadium. When conditions change during crystal growth, tourmalines can grow as bi-colored and multicolored crystals, such as watermelon elbaite—such as the specimen pictured!🍉

gf and I were lamenting the lack of exhibitions about dinosaurs that had updated accurate depictions when we happened upon This Beast. NY’s American Museum of Natural History, T. rex exhibit from 2019. We’re losing our minds over the fact it just has a head of hair and no other feathers. Thoughts?? Insight???

Better than nothing, depressingly low effort tho

esp given AMNH had the "Birds are Dinosaurs" exhibit not long before that and it was one of the best things I've ever seen

What can we learn from a dinosaur feather preserved in amber? Let’s go behind the scenes of the Museum’s collection of amber fossils to find out!
